I picked up a kaiser blade that was sitting there by the screen door. Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade. Got a long wood handle kinda like an ax handle with a long blade on it shaped kinda like a banana. Sharp on one edge and dull on the other'n. It's what the highway boys used to cut down weeds and whatnot. Well I went in the house and I hit Jesse Dixon upside the head with it, knocked him off my mother. I reckon that didn't quite satisfy me, so I hit him again with it in the neck with the sharp edge and just plumb near cut his head off. Killed'im.

Loved this!

A cool movie connection is Billy Bob and the little kid he befriends in this movie play the Coach and QB in Friday Night Lights.


That’s Lucas Black. He also starred in NCIS New Orleans.

And much love to Col. Bruce Hampton for next scene. Younglings look him up.



While we’re at it on an LA forum, Daniel Lanois owned this & Friday Night Lights Score. .

The Apostle


I spent many of my early years in a Pentecostal church, with a country pastor and with some simple folk for a congregation, and I found almost all of the performances inauthentic, but especially Duvall's whenever he was preaching or praying. Came across as acting which you shouldn't notice.

Now if you want to see a spot-on pentecostal preacher impression, you tube Sam Kinison's ole preacher bit. (It's spot-on because he was an ex-pentecostal preacher!) Then go back and watch Duvall. He clearly fails to hit the right notes.

Dwight Yoakam perfectly played maybe the biggest on-screen a-hole in the last 50 years.

Great movie

Hey is this the kind of retard that drools and rubs shite in his hair and all that, 'cause I'm gonna have a hard time eatin' 'round that kind of thing now. Just like I am with antique furniture and midgets. You know that, I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture.

A funny story I forgot about:

A musician friend of mine played in BB’s bluegrass band for a while. He told me that they constantly bugged him to break out his Karl, to which he always politely declined.

One day in the confines of the tour bus he finally gave in and went into character. The transformation freaked them out so much they never asked him again.

I used to think it was a terrible idea until a buddy insisted I put some on a sausage biscuit. I obliged, and was pleasantly surprised.

I asked him where he got the idea. He said he tried it drunk as a skunk after watching Sling Blade.

I remember using the Carl soundboard off of ebaumsworld for prank calls in the early 2000's. Telling the local pet groomer, "I wanna be baptized" always came out with good results.

I've put some yellow mustard on a conecuh sausage biscuit and it was great. The key isn't to have a sweet biscuit, but a good buttermilk biscuit that is really crumbly, it is good.

And I still say "ain't got no gas in it" to various people.
